A Bright Yellow "Chickadee" Shawl for Sale

My knitted item stack is getting pretty high in my closet and I would like to find a new home for some items.  I made this shawl with Quince & Co.'s 100% wool Chickadee yarn in a pretty butter yellow.  It is a small shawl, it works well worn bandana style around the neck.  The measurements are about 46" across and about 20" from the top to bottom point.  There are four "stripes" across the bottom.  While it is wool, it is a soft DK weight yarn, and it is slightly stretchy and a good medium weight for Spring and Fall.  It has been lightly worn.  There are no stains or tears.  We are a smoke free home.  

Asking $15 plus shipping.  Please email me at lifewiththecrew@gmail.com if interested.

A Spring Sweater for Sale

This open front cardigan is knit with 100% alpaca in a lovely moss green color - just the color for Spring!  It has the feather and fan lace pattern on the cuffs and hem.  The sleeves are 3/4 length with a slight bell shape.  I knit the light worsted weight alpaca on size 10 1/2 needles, so it is an open stockinette stitch (note that you can see the stripes of my shirt through it).  The front of the cardigan drapes to the sides.  For sizing, I am about 120 lbs, 5'5" with a size 34B bust.  The cardigan fits comfortably on my arms with a form fitting shirt underneath.  It would probably be a size Small, but on the smaller side of small!  It would fit a petite person with a smaller bust very nicely.

If you are interested in purchasing it or have any questions about it, please email me at lifewiththecrew@gmail.com.  The price is $60 plus shipping.

Naturally Warm and Cozy

I will begin this post by saying that I am not a model, I am a knitter.  I will also disclose that my photographer is six years old, so please excuse any blurriness or odd angled shots.  With that said, let me introduce my latest shawl for sale.

This shawl is knit with Quince & Co's Owl yarn, a 50/50 blend of wool and alpaca.  It is an undyed naturally colored yarn - the "Tyto" colorway.  The yarn has more texture than 100% wool - it is soft with a slight halo that I love.  Knit up in the "branching lace" pattern with a garter stitch edge, it makes a perfect shawl to squish up around your neck with a coat or to drape around your shoulders with a pretty shawl pin.  The shawl is 5 feet wide and from the center of the top to bottom is about 23".  The top is flat and the bottom is slightly rounded.

This shawl is for sale for $75.  It is brand new, straight off the needles and washed with Twig & Horn's Wool Soap.  We are a smoke free home.  Please contact me at lifewiththecrew@gmail.com if interested.
